This invention relates to a box or reoep tacle made of cardboard or simllar suitable material and designed to contain candy and a prize package or other device, and is so constructed and adapted to be. worn by a child or other purchaser as a toy wrist watch.

The invention will be more particularly described in conjunction with the accom: panying drawings in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of' the improved box.

' and a top member 14. The ends of the top member 14 are also extended'and provided with suitable score lines to form an end member 15 and flap 16, and a corresponding end member 17 and flap member 18.
